FAQs
Frequently asked questions
How can a foreign company set up a business in India?
The common routes are a wholly owned private limited subsidiary, a limited liability partnership (where FDI is permitted under the automatic route), or a liaison / branch office with RBI approval. Most foreign companies choose a private limited subsidiary for flexibility.
What is the minimum number of directors for an Indian private limited company?
At least two directors and two shareholders, and at least one director must have stayed in India for at least 182 days during the financial year (proportionately for a newly incorporated company).
What FDI reporting is required?
Foreign investment received must be reported to the RBI on the FIRMS portal within the prescribed time, supported by a valuation report, and an annual return on foreign liabilities and assets is filed every year.
